Spaghetti!!!

This is always a family favorite. Between my mom and I we cook this meal about 3 times a month. Spaghetti is great fresh off the stove and make great leftovers. This recipe take about 30 minutes to make and it is easy clean up.

One thing that I love about cooking is smelling the flavor of the food as you walk into the room. The aroma sets your stomach up for good eating's. Anytime anyone cooks spaghetti, it always reminds me of home. For some reason the smells, noises and tastes continually take me back to my home and cooking in the kitchen. Home is where the heart is, especially when it comes to food. There is nothing that tastes so good as a home cooked meal. I think that is why, as college students look forward to going home on occasions.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef or ground turkey burger (less fat)
1 package of noodles, your choice
1 jar Chunky Mushroom Ragu Sauce

Directions:
1- Defrost meat if frozen, if not place in pan and begin cooking. You want to chop the meat up into small chunks and cook till brown all the way through.
2- Cook your noodles (as meat is cooking) Boil till soft.
3- When the meat is done place into a strainer and rinse (this takes off the extra grease) then place back in pan
4- When noodles are done, strain and rinse and combine with meat
5- Add sauce and mix
6- Heat everything till hot
7- Serve

Great sides:
Green Salad
French Bread (buttered)
Parmesan Cheese

Enjoy!
